Found in, or pertaining to, lakes or ponds, or growing in them; as, lacustrine flowers.
A term that describes anything of, relating to, or living in lakes.
Related Topics: [ wetlands] The term "lacustrine" is related to the word "lake" - thus a lacustrine wetland is, by definition lake-associated. This category may include freshwater marshes, aquatic beds as well as lakeshores. Distinctions between lacustrine and palustrine habitat is primarily contingent of the way in which lake is defined.
Produced by or belonging to a lake.
Deposits accumulated in lakes or of lake origin are lacustrine. They may be detrital or organic material as well as clays and silts. These sediments abound in formerly glaciated areas of the lakes eventually drained, leaving the bottom sediments to form plains. Lacustrine deposits are often found in plateau or mountain basins.
A lake or lake-like environment. Cowardin et al. (1979) define the lacustrine environment as "wetlands and deepwater habitats with all of the following characteristics: (1) situated in a topographic depression or dammed river channel; (2) lacking trees, shrubs, persistent emergent plants, mosses, or lichens with greater than 30% areal coverage; and (3) total area exceeds 8 ha (20 acres). Similar wetland and deepwater habitats totaling less than 8 ha are also included in the lacustrine environment if an active wave-formed or bedrock shoreline feature makes up all or part of the boundary, or if the water depth in the deepest part of the basin exceeds 2 m (6.6 feet) at low water. Lacustrine waters may be tidal or non-tidal, but ocean-derived salinity is always less than 0.5 parts per thousand."
related to or produced by lakes
term used to indicate a lake environment.
Of or related to lakes or the processes of sedimentation in lakes
pertaining to, produced by, or inhabiting a lake.
Pertaining to lakes — includes wetlands and deepwater habitats that may be tidal or non-tidal but ocean derived salinity is less than one part per thousand (1 ppt). 1 ppt is the equivalent of one gram of sodium chloride (salt) per litre of water.
Pertaining to an environment of deposition in lakes, or an area having lakes. Because deposition of sediment in lakes can occur slowly and in relatively calm conditions, organic-rich source rocks can form in lacustrine environments.
Referring to a lake environment.
A wetland classification that includes permanently flooded lakes and reservoirs, intermittent lakes, and tidal lakes with ocean-derived salinities below 5 ppt.
A geomorphic process whereby soil forming material is deposited in lakes.
Deposited on the bottom of a lake
pertaining to or inhabiting lakes or ponds
(adj) Formed by lakes, or having to do with lakes.
Wetlands and deepwater habitats with all of the following characteristics: (1) situated in a topographic depression or a dammed river channel; (2) lacking trees, shrubs, persistent emergents, emergent mosses or lichens with greater than 30 percent area coverage; and (3) total area exceeds 8 ha (20 acres).

Related to standing water, (e.g., a lake).
Having to do with lakes, similar to the term marine for oceanic systems.
sediments deposited in a lake environment.
Of, or pertaining to a lake.
processes or features occurring or developed in lakes or surrounding areas under the influence of these water bodies .
living or growing in a lake.
Lacustrine is derived from the Latin word lacus ("lake").
